Please tell me the difference between the Oral-B 3000 and the 5000. There is a big price difference. Also I recall when I got my first one it also came with a traveling brush with case. Has anyone seen that option?

I own/use the 3000 myself. I have never used our experienced the other models. I went to the Oral-B site and compared the models then read many reviews and settled on the 3000. Two of my friends have them and they liked them. (Fyi, I have had mine for less than two years and l'm having a battery life issue while charging the unit as instructed.)

I believe the base is a the same (Oral B 5000). The difference is in which brush head you will get. So with the Professional care 5000, you get the professional care brush tip. With the 5000 deep sweep, you get the deep sweep brush head. Any of the brush heads will work on a Oral B 5000, so whichever one you get, if you wished you had gotten the other, just buy the other brush head.

I am not sure what you're asking but I WOULD NOT purchase from this company! I bought one through a LIving Social, kept it new in box for a year, to give as a gift to my daughter, and when I presented it to her, it did not work and they would not replace it. They sent me a % off coupon for a new toothbrush, which was ridiculous... why would I buy from this company ever again? I would go with a more established brand that will back up their product. Hope this helps!

From what I can see the Nanolonic Mineral has been locked into the bristles whereas the other one doesn't have that. I have the one with the blue handle, but I think I might try the silver classic to see how it works. It sounds a little more efficient, but have not used it. Good Luck!!

The kit came with 2 brushes: One regular size (blue colored band) and a smaller one which is like child size (green colored band) or for cleaning smaller spaces like your back molars or in between bridge work. If 2 of you are to use it, I would buy an additional brush head only. The travel case that comes with it has room for 2 brushes and the handle. My advice would be to see if they come in different colors to differentiate. The waterpik came with 5 attachments with two of the piks being identical for every day use. You could likely place a dot on one with a permanent marker to differentiate. Hope that answers your question.

Sensitive CLean is new to me. It might be a marketing gimmick, or it might be a new model replacing the Sensitive. I put the two links side by side in different tabs; there is a difference in how they are constructed. Be sure it fits your power tooth brush. We use the "4000" type. My wife uses the sensitive brush, and has for years; I use one (rarely) if I get a minor gum infection. I doubt there is much difference, but I would go with what my dentist recommended. He probably has a reason; you could ask him/her. I am not much help! These Sensitive-type brushes are designed for people with sensitive gums, and for children. http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Pro-Health-Sensitive-Clean-Refill/dp/B008CC3SKW/ref=sr_1_5?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402654142&sr=1-5&keywords=oral+b+replacement+sensitive+brush+heads http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Sensitive-Extra-Soft-Brush-heads/dp/B00006ANDK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402654141&sr=1-1&keywords=oral+b+replacement+sensitive+brush+heads

I am not too sure about the differences. My dentist provided me with the diamond clean when I bought the unit, and I really like diamond. I like the size (it's compact in brissel size) and shape of the brush.Sorry I couldn't be more help!

I always but Oral B brush heads - I don't know if other brands will work because I haven't tried them but I doubt it. Oral B makes a few different types of head; regular, gum stimulating, deep cleaning, etc.

I was just speaking with Oral B and they are sending me one. Whom ever you spoke to gave you wrong information. Walmart actually had the 1000 on sale (out of stock now) that came with one.

The Oral-B Action Power Soft is not out of stock. I just checked 30 seconds ago before writing this answer and it is shown as in stock. Buy a couple of brushes and a lot of heads then change your head and battery every 3 or 4 months whenever you visit you hygienist for a cleaning. You can save the used heads and batteries for other cleaning uses around the house if you have an old used brush.

We have been using Sonicare for many years. I bought the battery-powered toothbrush, since it's much more convenient. I have some brushheads from the maybe 10 year old rechargeable, and they fit, and work. I've not actually used them on a daily basis, but I did try one. I'm not surprised that Philips try to sell new brushes, and for all I know, the older style brushes don't work as well as the new style. Doesn't matter to me - usable or not - I love the new battery unit!

I love my Philips Sonicare and have had no other brand. I have two models of Sonicare...one that I have had for several years and one that I bought this past year. I do not think you could go wrong with any model. Check out how much the replacement brushes cost. That might make a difference for you as you should not use a toothbrush more that three months or when the blue tip of the brush is no longer blue.

Sonicare Elite 9800 = The Best Much like the 7500(except it comes with a travel case & a couple other extras.) They also come with the updated angled brush heads that get those hard to reach areas. The 9500 is the slightly outdated newer model with the travel case. Hope this at least gets you started in your quest for better teeth & gums.

Hey Roseanne, I'm not sure of this brand, but it looks like another knock off like the diamond Ultrasonic tooth brush I bought from Groupon a couple years back, which went in the trash six months later. Here's what I've learned about Groupon on things like this. Groupon is great for deals on certain things, but if it involves your health just pay the extra and buy a quality product. You might be saving $50 bucks and it could be a decent tooth brush, but if it's not you'll pay the difference in filling cavities. So my advice, pay the extra and stick with a brand you know works.

Hi Joel, I have not been to Europe in about 15 years (!) but I would suggest one of Oral B's inexpensive battery- operated toothbrushes. I have used them for travel in the states, and the least expensive ones are disposable. Safe travels :)

I've a Phillips Sonicare HX6063/64 toothbrush, which has only one adjustment speed. It's easy on my teeth and gums, but I also have a Phillips Sonicare Diamond/Clean 300 Series toothbrush, which provides 5 setting modes, including 'Sensitive'. If sensitivity is an issue, it would be a good choice. I like both models, however.
